Back when Hovden Cannery was a functioning sardine
cannery in the early 1900s, fishing boats would
occasionally bring in a unique or odd specimen.
A shelf of such specimens now rests in the area of the old cannery that is now part
of the Monterey Bay Aquarium. Here, we show a
preserved squid's tentacles that were mentioned
in an old newspaper clipping. This image was shot
(appropriately) with a fisheye lens.
Hovden Cannery was the last to close on Cannery Row, and
closed in 1973.
